Mountaineering Training-Mountain Guide Zermatt
The Mountaineering Training with a Mountain Guide Zermatt is for all who want to do mountaineering safely
You have done your ice or rock training and finally you would like to climb big mountains but you also know one training is not enough to climb by yourself. For those ones or the ones who think they haven’t got enough experience to climb a fourthousander by themselves, I created a special training. Mountaineering is not about going to trainings, mountaineering is to do climbs, to achieve experience. Achieving experience is a long continuing process. My goal is to share my experience with you while you climb several three- and fourthousander. You will learn:
• Planning of climbs
• Orientation with map and compass
• Leading of climbs
• Improving rope techniques
• Behaivour on glaciers
• Crevasse rescuing
• Crampons techniques
• Basic mountaineering skills
